LLINs

What is a Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN)?

An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide.

The insecticide is cleverly bound within the fibres that make up the netting and is 'slow released' over a 4-5 year period. Hence 'long lasting'.

Distributed by  Rotary International    Rotary International

Malaria is endemic and a major health problem in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Abau is a coastal district and has one of the highest incidences of malaria in the country.

The distribution of 20,000 LLINs, in three related distributions, will achieve blanket coverage - all sleeping spaces covered - in some 40 villages. The three distribution areas will be Aroma rural, Cloudy Bay rural and Amazon Bay rural.

The distribution will be the responsibility of and coordinated by Rotarian groups in PNG working in collaboration with the PNG Dept of Health.
